Art Resolutions Part II

Making art resolutions is a fun way to explore and make a list of some of the art techniques that you would like to focus on in the coming year. Here is a taste of a few of my personal art resolutions and how I am planning to stay on track:

*Learn to paint a sunset. Watercolor Made Easy: Seascapes and Sunsets features some incredible lessons on how to paint sunsets.

*Play with new color palettes—I love bright colors, but I've found that I often stick with a similar palette of bold jewel tones and beachy colors. I don't want to be afraid to try something with big reds and greens this year. Try this book on color mixing if you're looking for a few color ideas.
